Without a doubt, the purest, most traditional, genuine yogurt that can be found. Fresh, living good bacterias for the gut! The very best yogurt! Been using it since the early ‘80s and I’ve seen lots of brands come and go, but this is the best. Period. - Laurice

Live/Active Culture
Q: What is the difference between bacteria and culture?
A: “Culture” is a word that marketing departments decided to use instead of “bacteria” on labels and in advertising. There are good and bad bacteria, so “culture” is a safer word to use in a description of a food product. There is no difference; “culture” is “bacteria” on a yogurt label.

My "Go To" Yoghurt
It’s been my “go to” yoghurt for years. I love the whole milk version, SO good. I love the not-too-sweet, natural flavor. When I had rescued racing greyhounds I added a cup to their dry kibble as a special treat to help them with digestion, so they wouldn’t be “gassy” (which makes a huge difference when they live indoors with the humans). – JoLynn

Mountain Rye Bread
Ingredients:
1 c. White Mountain Foods Bulgarian Yogurt
1½ c. warm water
1 tsp. salt
2 pkg. yeast, dry
1 c. rye flour
¼ c. favorite bran or whole grain breakfast cereal
1 c. different favorite cereal (mix & match to taste; use one with nuts & dried fruit, too!)
1/2 cup unbleached white flour & 1/2 cup whole wheat flour.
1 Tbsp. fennel seeds
4 Tbsp. butter, softened
Glaze:
4 Tbsp. melted butter or margarine
Directions:
In a mixing bowl stir the yeast and warm water to activate the yeast. Stir in the yogurt, cereal, salt, butter, rye flour, and 2 cups of the all-purpose flour. You can use your hands to blend the ingredients together or use a mixing bowl with the dough hook attachment. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface using the all-purpose flour and knead for 5 minutes. Let the dough rest 5 minutes. Knead the dough a second time and knead in the fennel seeds, using additional flour to combat the stickiness. Place in a bowl covered with plastic wrap until dough doubles in size. Punch dough down and cut it in half. You can make rolls, croissants, braids, etc. Brush the tops with butter before putting the dough into the oven. Place on a sheet pan covered with a sheet of parchment or wax paper. Bake at 350ยบ for 25 minutes, or until brown.

Lactose-Intolerant-Friendly Yogurt
Q: How much lactose (a sugar naturally found in milk) is left in your yogurt?
A: Typically, our yogurt has five grams of lactose per one-cup serving. A one-cup serving of whole milk normally has about twelve grams of lactose. According to scientific studies, yogurt cultures consume about 30 percent of the lactose naturally found in milk. This aspect, along with the helpful benefits of the live cultures in the digestive system, makes yogurt more digestible by lactose-intolerant people. However, the study did not take into consideration variable inoculation temperatures, fermentation temperatures, and fermentation duration. We ferment our yogurt over a twenty-four-hour period. This is much longer than the industry standard. If there were no remaining lactose in the yogurt, however, the cultures would become inactive or die, as lactose is their main source of energy.

Gluten Free
Q: If I have celiac disease or Crohn’s disease, is your yogurt OK for me to eat?
A: Our yogurt is gluten free and incubated over a twenty-four hour period. We do not add any milk solids or other compounds to our yogurt; we only use milk and culture. The culture is grown on a dairy product base. For those consumers who are sensitive even to the amino acid components of gluten, our cows’ milk contains an average of 2 milligrams of free glutamates per 100 grams

Great Right Out of the Jar
Q: Can I eat your yogurt as is, or is it to be used as a starter only?
A: Our yogurt is meant to be eaten as is, right out of the jar. Due to its high level of live, beneficial bacteria, it can also be used as a starter for home yogurt making.

"It's Wonderful"
I was lucky enough to find the low fat version at my whole Foods in Kailua Hawaii last week. It’s wonderful. Low fat is not my preference. I’m hoping they carry the whole milk version. I went to your web site, I’m very impressed. I will continue to be a customer and let my family and friends in on this wonderful product. Keep it coming. The fact that it’s non GMO and organic and grass fed put it on the top of the list! – Carol
